ARUP LABORATORIES FACT SHEETMARCH 2018
SUMMARY ARUP Laboratories is a nonprofit national reference laboratory and a leader in innovative laboratory research and development. ARUP’s test menu is one of the broadest in the industry, encompassing more than 3,000 tests, including highly specialized and esoteric assays. We offer comprehensive testing in the areas of genetics, molecular oncology, anatomic pathology, pediatrics, and pain management, among others.
Since its formation in 1984, ARUP has founded its reputation on reliable and consistent laboratory testing and innovative utilization management tools. When ARUP conducts surveys, clients routinely rate ARUP above other labs for best value and customer service, and respond that they would recommend ARUP to others.
Rather than competing with its clients for physician office business, ARUP offers education and consultative support to assist clients in improving diagnostics, streamlining operations, and reducing total cost-of-care. Our comprehensive utilization management program helps clients control utilization and improve patient care. As an academic enterprise of the University of Utah and its Department of Pathology, our focus is the patient, not short-term financial gains.
WHY STATEMENT We believe in collaborating, sharing knowledge, and contributing to laboratory science in ways that provide the best value for the patient—it’s why we exist; why we care; why we are an academic, nonprofit institution.
FACTS• ARUP is one of the nation’s top reference laboratories and is nationally recognized
for excellence.
• We put patients before short-term financial gains, a point supported by our team of 16 genetic counselors who save clients thousands of dollars per month by working with ordering physicians to cancel duplicate genetic testing and correct misordered tests.
• ARUP provides some of the best turnaround times in the industry, due in part to the advanced instrumentation and automated systems used in specimen receiving, tracking, and retrieving.
• ARUP offers diagnostic laboratory testing services to thousands of clients, including academic hospitals, children’s hospitals, multihospital groups, major commercial laboratories, group purchasing organizations, military and government facilities, and major clinics, in all 50 states.
• We are the reference lab of choice for more than 50 percent of the nation’s university medical centers, pediatric hospitals, and teaching hospitals.
• ARUP has more than 90 medical experts available for client consultation. These professionals hold faculty appointments at the University of Utah School of Medicine; many participate in care teams at the Huntsman Cancer Hospital and Primary Children’s Hospital.
TOGETHER, ARUP AND ITS CLIENTS ARE IMPROVING
PATIENT CARE TODAY ANDIN THE FUTURE.
